After reading today's excellent Oakland Press, it seems to me that Brandon Township School Board is more interested in protecting the teachers' union extravagant salaries and benefits than it is in educating the children of that area. No charter school, no union.

In response to the comments made by Supervisor Greg Baroni that they have 18 full-time firefighters in White Lake. Why is it that Mr. Baroni can't sit down with the fire chief and realize that 18 full-time fire fighters would give you three shifts of six, which would cover all three fire stations seven days a week? This is why it would be encouraging to see Waterford Fire Department move west, take over White Lake Township, get rid of the firefighters that don't want to do the job and bring on the ones who do.

The day after the dedication of the George Bush presidential center, Obama was speaking at Planned Parenthood and wound up the speech by saying "God bless Planned Parenthood."

We should not be giving guns and weapons to the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt. They are part of Al-Qaeda who just want to kill and hurt us.

How can Clarkston High School get away with this, letting a man come in there and feed their heads full of mush, lies and untruths about O.J. Simpson? He killed two people and got away with it. The evidence was overwhelming. This one girl said she's been lied to her whole life and this idiot woke her up. Bull, he killed two people. If they don't have both sides there, they shouldn't let him talk. He was an idiot when he was O.J.'s manager and he's still an idiot. Let somebody come in that knows the facts. He's in it for the money, and there's no other reason.

Thank you for printing Chris Freind's commentary in Friday's paper. ("Martial law is greatest threat in marathon bombing's aftermath") I think it should be reprinted on the front page, provided it doesn't hurt too many people's feelings.

I have to wonder if our elected geniuses in Washington D.C. have considered cutting foreign aid to help balance things out.
